Three young men from a small seaside town tell of their inextricably linked lives and the eventful week which was to change things for good. Written by acclaimed Irish playwright Conor McPherson (The Weir, The Night Alive), the award-winning This Lime Tree Bower is a poignant and gripping tale starring Peter Daly (Jezebel), Stephen Jones (Love/Hate) and David Fennelly (Killing Bono). This Lime Tree Bower first premiered in 1995. Originally produced and directed at the Crypt Theatre, Dublin by McPherson himself, it later transferred to the Bush Theatre, London.

About Us

Since its foundation in November of 2011, more than 120 productions have graced the stage of the Viking Theatre. Established to provide an outlet for small cast plays with little or no funding, it has gone from strength to strength,playing an essential part in the development and staging of many successful productions, including several world premieres and revivals.
Located above a public house, Connolly's The Sheds in Clontarf,
this gem of a theatre has made a major cultural impact not only in Dublin but nationwide, with audience members travelling from all parts of Ireland to see top quality performances. Realistic ticket pricing and the informal pub setting have added greatly to the popularity of the Viking Theatre, gaining it a loyal and enthusiastic patronage.

–

Building on this success, and with the determination to attract increasing support, the goal is to develop and improve the unique space and opportunities the Viking Theatre currently offers, enhancing the overall experience for both the audience and performers. Artistically, the priority is to increase the number of productions that start life at the Viking Theatre and to develop, produce and tour more original writing.
The Viking theatre receives no funding whatsoever, but proves that with perseverance, professionalism and creative desire, a little ambition and ingenuity can go a long way in these difficult times.
